opencv\src\OpenCV.h(9): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'cv.h': No such file or directory

[tiny-tinker]

Hello people!
I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction.... I am getting this error when trying to install this opencv package on my Win 7 x64 box... I suspect something is funky with opencv.vcxproj file, but I'm not familiar with programming on windows...
Thanks!!

Yo,

Same problem for me at:

#104

Just posted so ill keep u informed,

Dominik

[MasaMune692]

yo,

i fixed my problem with a correct config path #104

[peterbraden]

How did you fix the config path? Do I need to add something to the docs?

[gongfan99]

If you are installing this package in windows, you need to be carefully with the "opencv.pc" file.

It should NOT be:
Cflags: -I${includedir}/

It should be:
Cflags: ${includedir}/

The problem is that the "binding.gyp" file uses "--cflags" for 'include_dirs', which I think should be changed.

Having said that, I still cannot successfully install it under windows. An error shows up in the compiling process and it has something to do with the "nan_new.h". So I gave up for now and fall back to use opencv with C++.

Just had the exact same error, with the cv.h file cannot open in visual studio 2012. Tried reinstalling opencv completely, reset environment variables for the compiler, edited the linker include and lib directories in debug and active/release properties to the path for the opencv/build/x64/lib and opencv/build/x64/include neither worked. also tried another suggestion to copy rc.exe and rcDLL.dll from MicrosoftSDKs/bin/vc/ to /Program Files(x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0/ VC/bin/ and that did not work either. Did anyone ever find a solution to this error?

[tiny-tinker]

I did not. I gave up trying to compile on windows which is not my strong point.
